I died three times in a single day

Divine Cloud Sect

Lin Huang woke up from a dream, memories started to organize in his mind. He had taken over the body of an inner disciple of the Divine Cloud Sect.

The real Lin Huang was cultivating to reach the ''Core Formation'' realm and become an inner disciple. Unfortunately, at the moment he was solidifying his core, an inner demon emerged and caused his soul to scatter.

In the end, Lin Huang transmigrated again and took over the body of this unlucky disciple.

How did he transmigrate again?

He was originally from the blue planet, after playing his favorite game for platinum for a night, he felt a pain in his heart, an energy drink fell under the keyboard and somehow unluckily caused a short circuit that burned down the entire house.

Thus, Lin Huang had his first transmigration. He was born in an unknown place, something similar to the medieval era. He was the crown prince of the largest country in that world.

But unfortunately for him, while that world was still in the era where he did not cultivate, the same could not be said for that universe.

Two powerful Martial Saints, as large as solar systems, fought nearby. One of the Saints used a powerful sword technique and like tofu, the planet was cut into infinite pieces. Everyone died without even realizing it.

Before he could even open his eyes, he died, but luckily for him, he transmigrated again. This time to a new location.

He was born on a continent where powerful beasts prevailed. Mighty dragons flew, Phoenixes were seen everywhere, even an ant could bite a human being to death in a few seconds.

He was born in a primordial village where human beings had learned to take the most powerful beasts to strengthen themselves.

But once again, he was unlucky.

An evil dragon had been hiding in the core of that planet for an unknown time. The moment Lin Huang was born, the dragon had finally finished refining the planet and then all the lives were absorbed into the body of that evil dragon. In the end, the dragon with a powerful cry broke through the void and ascended to immortality.

And finally, he transmigrated for the third time, but this time he didn't die right away. He could finally breathe, even if only for a few seconds.

Feeling a headache from the fusion of memories, despite being a tiny being in the first two situations, he knew exactly what had happened.

He knew that there could be humans so powerful that planets were nothing but dust, and he also knew that there could be animals as terrifying as those that fed on planets.

Finally calming down, he got out of bed.

"I hope I don't die again in this world."

[Ding: Location System activated]

[Ding: Beast Taming System activated]

[Ding: Divine Sect System activated.]

Three loud sounds rang out in Lin Huang's mind, increasing the pain even more.

But this time, he smiled crazily. 3 systems at the same time? It seemed like something fantastic

He quickly investigated what each one was for

The first system, the location system, was very simple and straightforward. It allowed him to locate anything within Lin Huang's range. In addition, the system allowed him to have access to chances to locate fortuitous opportunities.

If he asked the system: System, is there any fruit available? The system would give him the direction of everything that was close to him.

The second system, as its name suggested, was for taming beasts. It allowed him to share the beast's bloodline with himself, in addition to having an internal world of the system in which he would create the perfect environment for the beast to breed.

If he tamed a panda, the system would generate the eternal bamboo forest for him, if it was a phoenix, the system would generate the primordial volcano.

As for the third. It consisted of creating a sect, accepting disciples, and by rewarding the disciples or giving them cultivation, he could receive a return. Whether it was 10x, 100x, 1,000x, or 10,000x.

Any object gifted to the disciples would give him a large return.

In addition, there were functions such as the overall ranking of the sects. Every time he changed in the ranking, he could earn rewards.

Lin Huang was very excited when he saw the description of the systems and was ready to put it into practice.

"System, is there any beast that I can tame near me?"

[-Ding: There are no beasts within a radius of 100 meters.]

Lin Huang was surprised, but then he soon understood. He was now in the outer part of the sect. Here, there were only the weakest of the weak. And no beasts would stay in this area.

He then began to think about what the next step would be.

He had 3 different systems and needed to strengthen himself. He didn't know if at some point some saint or divine beast would screw his life up again.

But first of all, he needed to get to know the world he was in. Searching through his memory, he found the library.

In the external part, each disciple had to share a house with 2 other colleagues, but luckily for Lin Huang, his two colleagues had become inner disciples and no newbies were assigned to the house.

It didn't take long for him to reach the library. Among his memories, he discovered that there were two. One contained techniques and this one could only be entered with the approval of the elder in charge, and to enter, he had to have points from the sect's missions.

The second was a free one that only served to give a basic concept to new apprentices. Since the sect recruits tens of thousands of disciples every year, it was necessary for them to know what is right and wrong.

Going in, he easily searched for what it said about his current world.

He discovered that this world was called Qiankun. Unlike the blue planet that had continents, Qiankun only had a single continent that bore the same name as the world. 

Qiankun is basically divided into 7 great sacred sects. 4 righteous and 3 demonic 

The first one mentioned was the Immortal Sword Sect. A sect focused exclusively on mastering the sword. No other sect came close to them in this regard.

The second would be the Heavenly Lotus Sect which was said to be the best in the subject of alchemy.

The third was the Divine Vajra Sect, a Buddhist sect. 

The fourth was the Heavenly Jade Sect, which focused only on women. 

The fifth was the Thousands of Poisons Sect. Focused on creating powerful Gus insects.

The sixth was the Divine Corpse Sect. Focused on creating Yin ghosts and corpses.

The last one was the Demonic Ancestral Sect. It did everything the others did. This last one was for a long time the most powerful in all of Qiankun, but the power became so high that even the poisonous sect and the corpse joined the righteous forces to attack the demonic ancestor. The battle was so tough that even in a 1v6 fight it was still a stalemate, but in the end the numerical power was greater.

Today, among all the sacred lands, it is the last and isolated one.

The world was divided between these 7 and below them there were 10 large sects in each of the divisions, giving a total of 70. As for small and medium sects? The number was countless.

And the Divine Cloud, despite its name, was only the third strongest in the Qianshen State and this state was under the control of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, being a neighbor of the Demonic Ancestral Sect and the Jade Sect.

Lin Huang was startled by the number of sects. He had no idea how many human beings there were on the Qiankun Continent. He had a conservative estimate of tens of billions.

In such a large world, geniuses were constantly emerging, new sects were being exterminated, and sects were being exterminated. All sorts of situations occurred at any given time. But the only ones that remained firm were the 7 sacred grounds.

'System, can I still earn points even if I'm not the sect master?'

[Ding, yes, you can earn points even if you're not the sect master, but you'll only earn points for those things that are directly related to your actions.]

He then thought hard, perhaps staying in the current sect would be the best option. He didn't even have the power to defend himself, let alone act as the sect master. The best option would be to grow in power and contribute to the sect. Inevitably, he could grow until he eventually became a powerful elder or even a sect master.

After finishing reading about the world, he began to plan, but before he could think of anything, someone called out to him.

"Brother Lin, is this where you are? Didn't you say you were going to try to cross over to the ''Core Formation?''

"Brother Zhang, I was actually going to go, but I felt like it wasn't the right time. I came to read about general concepts to calm my mind and prepare myself properly."

The speaker was Zhang Xuanji, a neighbor of Lin Huang. He was at the 7th level of Foundation Establishment while Lin was at the 9th, one step away from the Core Formation.

As for cultivation levels, Lin Huang knew of the 8 general ones.

The initial one was Qi Condensation/Refining, after that Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Void Refinement, Body Integration, and Mahayana. Each of the realms had 9 levels.

What made the sacred grounds sacred was the presence of Mahayana-level cultivators. Each of the lands had at least one of these beings. It was the peak of the Qiankun Continent's cultivation. ''''''''''''''''''''''''

Lin Huang was still at the lowest possible level and needed to somehow improve.

The first thing he had to do was to strengthen himself, so that he could improve the range of the location system and also be able to attract disciples.

In addition, he needed to somehow hire his first beast, after all, with the beast he could share its bloodline which could speed up his cultivation.

With a plan in mind, he said goodbye to Zhang and then headed towards the center of the outer area. He planned to accept the monthly mission of the outer disciples.

Despite being a medium-sized sect, Divine Cloud was still quite competitive. And those who did not work hard to stay in the sect would be easily expelled.

It was mandatory for all disciples to complete one mission per month to stay in the sect. If you failed three missions within a year, you would be expelled from the sect.

Old Lin Huang had already failed two in a row. He was confident of reaching Core Formation and so he gave up on missions to focus on cultivation. In the end, he died and left Lin Huang with the hard work of not failing any missions.

Looking at the board of assigned missions, he felt a little desperate.

It was the end of the month and all the good and easy ones had already been taken, leaving only those that only genius disciples could complete.

Although he had three systems, Lin Huang considered himself normal and did not have enough confidence.

Among the missions were hunting wild beasts in the forests, escorting trading networks, and hunting bandits. All of them involved the risk of someone with a Golden Core appearing.

In the end, his eyes focused on a difficult mission but one that could help him a lot.

''Find the Elderly Refiner

'' Description: In Chenzhong City, a demonic disciple is refining elderly women. He is an expert in the art of escape. Any clue about the location is considered as completed. Extra rewards will be given based on the veracity of the clue.

Disciple's approximate cultivation: Golden core 3''

'This mission seemed interesting because it only required clues about the location. It didn't require combat or anything like that.

For other disciples, it might be a difficult mission, but for Lin Huang, it would be something easy with the help of the system.

Besides, since it was in the city, he could take advantage of it to see if he could somehow get a disciple or buy some beast eggs.

He quickly took the mission as if he was afraid someone would be faster.

He then went towards the counter to report that he had accepted it. At the counter was an old inner disciple. He had failed to rise to the "Nascent Soul" stage and could now only work until the end of his life.

As he approached, he greeted the old man, "Outer disciple Lin Huang greets senior brother Gao Moyun."

Gao turned his attention to me, enjoying the way he was treated with respect. Most of the disciples treated him with a certain disdain, as they considered that he, who had no more capacity to grow, had become a useless person destined for that position.

But they treated him with the proper seniority. Smiling, he replied, "Young Lin, how can I help you?"

"Senior brother, I came here to take this mission. Here is my token."

Lin Huang handed over the mission and also a small brooch that served to identify who he was and what his background in the sect was.

Gao took both. After reading the mission and looking at the history, he replied, "Are you sure?" This mission is difficult and if you fail, you will be expelled from the sect.''

''Yes, brother, I am sure. Please complete the process.''

With a small nod, Gao completed the process and handed another piece of paper to Lin Huang.

''Here is the information. Remember, you have to complete it and return within one month,

otherwise, even if you have completed the mission, it will still be counted as a failure.''

''Thank you, brother Gao.''

He then left in a hurry, went to his house, took the few copper coins that were left and then he left. At the entrance of the sect he handed over the paper and was then allowed to leave.

As he walked he tested the system.

'System, is there any money near me?'

Ding- Under the third stone from the right on top of the small mound there is a silver coin.

Ding- At the root of the tree on the left there is a bag with 10 silver coins

Some notifications popped up and he was surprised. Within about 100 meters he could easily get about 200 silver coins, or 2 gold.

But he didn't do it because it would be too strange if he started digging in front of the sect.

He was sure he wouldn't last even a minute alive.

He then headed towards Chenzhong City. Above his head he could see some other disciples flying with flying swords or crossbows.

A feeling of envy rose within him, but quickly faded. Soon he could have those same things too.

The target city was about 130km away from where he was, and if he ran at full speed, it wouldn't take long for him to arrive.

Although he didn't have a high cultivation, it wasn't something he could dismiss.

A little over 6 hours after leaving, he arrived at the city.

The time would have been faster if he hadn't been constantly asking the system 3 questions.

Whether there was a disciple nearby. Whether there was money nearby, and whether there was a beast to tame nearby.

Unfortunately, he only found money, but he was very happy. He now had a total of 200 gold now, enough to have no trouble in the city.

He was also lucky enough to find a low-level spirit stone.

This stone was worth about 300 gold and was the main resource for outer disciples. The sect only gave everyone 5 per month. Just enough to wet their teeth.

That's why some missions were very competitive. Everyone wanted to go to the mortal world, so they could earn a good amount of gold and then exchange it for spiritual stones.

Some were also from mortal families and so they needed to give a good amount of resources to their own families so they could have more children and enter the sect, strengthening their network of acquaintances.

At the entrance to Chenzhong City, there was a large gate with a gigantic line. Luckily, as a cultivator, Lin didn't have to wait in line.

He quickly went to the entrance and handed in the mission, and received directions from the guard on where to report.

He had to go to the Chenzhong governor's office.

He noticed on the way that there were others who were also part of the sect. He soon understood that the mission was probably open to everyone, after all, all that was needed was clues.

When he entered the governor's office, a small meeting was taking place. In the center of a table sat a tall man with a serious expression. In front of them were about 30 disciples from the outer sect who had also accepted the same mission.

"Pay attention. This cultivator claimed 10 more victims yesterday.

We need clues, we need to give people an answer. You are all disciples of a powerful sect but you can't even locate a bandit? What are you for?"

The man who spoke rude words was surnamed Wang. He could act so rudely because he had a son of Golden Core 9 cultivation, about to become a core disciple.

No one dared to say anything for fear of disrespecting the man and it reaching his son's ears.

Wang smiled seeing everyone silent. He couldn't cultivate but at least in a way he could oppress these cultivators. He felt very good taking advantage of his son's power.

The meeting continued with them talking about the locations where the victims were and how everyone should investigate carefully.

In the end, everyone left to try to complete the mission as quickly as possible.

Lin Huang also left, but to do something else.

There was a place in the city that sold beast eggs. He wanted to try his luck and with the location system, he was sure that he could get something good. He located a shop and then quickly entered it. "Sir, where can I see the beast eggs?" Although the owner of the shop seemed to be a mortal, Lin Huang decided to act respectfully. Ever since the event where he died twice, he had not thought of himself as superior. "Young man, come with me, it's in the back." The old man then directed him to the place. When he arrived, he could see that it was very small and had about 50 eggs. 'System, among all the eggs present, which one is the best?'

Ding- The second egg in the third row

Lin Huang then pretended to look at the other eggs until he stopped in front of the one the system indicated

''Boss, which beast does this egg belong to?''

Looking at what the customer was pointing at, the old man said

''This belongs to a species of bird called the iron hawk. They have feathers that are as hard as iron, but the process to hatch the egg is complicated. It is necessary to have a large source of iron and then surround the egg while the iron is heated. After 7 days and 7 nights, the egg hatches and then the bird eats the iron that surrounds it. It is a powerful bird but the incubation process is very difficult and the amount spent to assemble everything is enough to buy other beasts. Furthermore, the iron hawk is of the small type and is not suitable for use as a mount''

The salesman gave a sincere evaluation. Almost no one was interested in this type of bird because of how difficult it is to raise.

While listening to the man describe it, he took the opportunity to check it with the beast system.

[Iron Hawk

Bloodline: None

Benefit: Iron Defense]

Lin Huang was a little disappointed, but he couldn't expect much. After all, it was a market in a mortal city. He couldn't expect a beast with the bloodline of the legendary Phoenix.

Still, he was excited. After all, he would still have the benefit of being able to increase his own defense. Defending his own life in the end was the most important thing.

"Boss, how much does this egg cost?"

The vendor, seeing the interest, didn't show any surprise. Everyone knew what they were doing, but he still saw an opportunity to make money. After all, if someone was willing to buy this item, they would definitely have the money to pay more.

"Young man, this egg costs 200 gold."

Lin Huang was surprised. Wasn't that the exact amount he had at the moment?

He curiously asked the system

'Is there something worth around 200 gold coins in front of me?'

'No.'

'.... 150?'

'No.'

'100?'

'No.'

'50?'

'Yes.'

Lin Huang was a little irritated. The man wanted to sell it to him for 4x the real value.

''Boss, the price is too high. I'll give you 70.''

Seeing the customer lower the price by 130 gold coins, a vein almost burst on the salesman's forehead, but he kept a serious expression.

''Young man, this is one that despite the difficulty of incubation is rare. Let's do this. Suffer a loss and sell it to you for 150.''

''I'll pay 60.''

''Young man, this is not how you negotiate, you sh-''

''50''

''Don't you have any respect for your elders? Hey hey, where are you going? Wait wait, it's okay. It's 50, come back here, 50 and it's a done deal''

In the end, Lin Huang left the store after paying 50 gold.

He felt happy with his first acquisition in this world.

'Now I need to see how to get a disciple.'

He initially wanted to accept any random person to test the system. But the disciple system, unlike the beast system, had strict requirements and would only accept those the system deemed worthy.

And one of the requirements was to have at least one spiritual root, which is something rare. Only 1 in 10,000 mortals are born with a root.

As he walked, he was in for a surprise. The disciple system actually beeped.

[Detecting a good seed nearby

Name: Mo Yanluo

Age: 8 years old

Spiritual Root: None

Physique: Demonic Taoist (Not Awakened)]

'Shit shit shit. Isn't this the physique of the legendary demon emperor?'

When he was reading the history of the world, he discovered that this was the physique that every leader of the Demonic Ancient Sect possessed.

This physique allowed one to understand any type of demonic art, from insects, swords, alchemy, to Buddhism. As long as something could be used for evil, this physique allowed one to quickly understand the skill and master it with ease.

The great war occurred because the last leader who had this physique excelled far above the previous ones. He was at level 9 Mahayna, ready to reach an unknown realm. Out of fear of his power, everyone joined together and in the end he perished.

Not even in Lin Huang's deepest dreams did he imagine that he would encounter this physique so easily in a mortal city. And the worst part was that it was a beggar child.

She was lying in the corner of an alley in a fetal position. There were several wounds on her body that looked like whips.

Lin Huang thought hard about whether or not he should accept such a person. Most likely, she would eventually become a master of the demonic path.

But wouldn't that make him the grandmaster of the demonic path?

This thought made him make a decision.

He walked into the alley and walked towards the child.

Feeling a shadow covering her, the child opened her swollen eyes in anticipation of seeing something, but unfortunately, she could only see a figure.

"My little brother, I see that you are in need of help. Would you like to become my disciple?"

Mo Yanluo didn't know why this stranger offered him help. But ever since he had a conscience, everyone was just trying to hurt him in some way.

A salesman who said that if he took his purchases to a certain place he would receive a few copper coins, until when he completed the order and requested payment, he was laughed at and finally beaten.

A lady who asked him to take care of her plants, but even though he did nothing he was whipped.

He did not know why, but almost everyone tried to hurt him in some way.

But for some reason, he felt that for the first time someone had no malice or disdain towards him.

In a hoarse voice he answered 'Yes, master.'

[A new disciple has been added.

The host receives an extra reward as the first disciple and because he is so talented

Reward: Complete Taoist Physique]

A huge smile appeared on Lin Huang's face. It was already his first day on the continent and he already had one of the best physiques in existence. Worthy of being the grandmaster of the future demon emperor.

He didn't accept the reward right away because he didn't know if it would have any special effects.

First, he needed to take care of Yanluo who was so injured that he could barely speak.

But he had a problem. He didn't have any healing powers.

But he was a man who had more than one system and could explore the relationship between them.

'Is there anything that can be used as a cure nearby?'

'In the trash to the right, there is a dead ginseng root.'

Huang then rummaged through the trash and found a small stalk of a dead plant.

He was ready to give it to Yanluo, he hoped to get good feedback from the system and receive a whole plant.

But then he stopped.

The Sect system gave him an extra reward for gaining his first disciple. Could there also be something with the first gift?

An idea formed in his mind.

"Yanluo, this will be your master's first gift."

He then handed the egg to this newly acquired disciple. It was a little bigger than a chicken egg.

Yanluo stretched out his weak hand, he couldn't see clearly at the moment but he felt that it was something important.

When he touched the egg, a notification popped up.

[Ding, you have granted your disciple "Mo Yanluo" the Iron Falcon egg and received a 100,000 times greater return reward: Titanic Falcon Egg]

Yanluo's eyes widened a second time, titanic falcon seemed like a very oppressive name. He quickly ran to look at the description in the beast system.

[Titanic Falcon: A falcon from the post-primordial era. It fed on rare ores.

He was born with a ''Nascent Soul''.

Bloodline: Primordial Falcon (1%)

Benefit: Impenetrable]

Huang quickly used the egg and threw it into the beast system. In his mind he saw a completely dark place begin to lighten, along with it a cave was born with pieces of rare metal everywhere. A mini altar appeared and the egg was placed in the center.

There was a timer that said 7 days and after that the bird would hatch. He was anxious to have his first animal.

Finally turning his attention to Yanluo he gave a wry smile

This time because the black hawk egg he had given to this disciple... Was being chewed.

From Yanluo's mouth he heard small words

''Thank you master''
